2025–2026 Annual Report
Victor Global Initiative — Building the Foundation of a Global Mentorship Engine
Year One: Eyes Forward
When I founded Victor Global Initiative in 2025, I made a promise — to every child who feels invisible, to every foster youth who believes their past defines their future, and to the memory of my mother Lucianne, who signed her name with an "X" so that one day I could write mine.
Year One was about building the infrastructure worthy of that promise. We assembled a board of dedicated leaders, established our legal and governance foundation, launched our secure digital headquarters, and began the community outreach work that will grow into our 2027 programs.
This is not a beginning. This is a base of fire — from which everything the Victor Mentorship Model promises will be launched.
